let me start by saying i hate the rta.

now that i have that out of the way i need your input. do i display my plates while i'm selling them and save on the storage fees or just fork out the cash and store them at the rta. it's not really about the money as i'm going to have to pay $50 to store them or pay $50 to change them to black and whites. i ordered yellows and i'm not about to display the yellows on my car as it looks wrong.

if i display them i can at least advertise them on the car but i'm not that keen to for some reason.

what would you do?

I would display them dude.... in black on white they'll be fairly inconspicuous (sp?) and may as well get them out there so people have a chance to see them which may help them in their decision to buy your plates or not.

Your Dragster.com.au and your Drags.com.au add selling them could EASILY be mis-read as NEVER DISPLAYED. That's the impression "not currently displayed" gives people.

I would however ALSO like them to be displayed on a big f'off dragster.

george, i dont know if youve checked, but you cant store them at the rta for $50

i tried to do the same with my custom plates, and you have to pay the $400 odd dollars whether you have them on your car or not, once you got them originally.

i didn't want to pay, so i handed mine in.

cheers, mark

if you want to store them at the rta you pay the $50 on top of the $400 but if you display them you only pay the $400. that's why i'm thinking of displaying them. plus, i can advertise them that way.

bit of a jip but at least it stops all the ppl that store plates simply for the purpose of selling them. it's hard enough finding a combination for custom plates so you can imagine how hard it would be if storage fees were only $50.

so when am i going to meet the beast?

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
